Expensive
Disappointing battery life
No 3.5mm headphone jack
Same design for fourth year in a row
Only available in three colours
Misses out on Portrait Mode effects
This phone has the same pedestrian design
Missing headphone jack and battery life as the iPhone 7 -- and no dual camera either. The iPhone 8 costs a bit more than baseline new iPhones in years past
And comes only in black
Silver and a new shade of gold
Lacks iPhone 8 Plus' camera skills
Need separate cable for Quick Charge
Glass makes it prone to drop damage
Familiar design might look dated the second iPhone X launches
The familiar design looks dated
Large bezels look dated

2014 design
Boring
Large bezels around the screen

Design might become dated
They're not the iPhone X
Battery life
Although improved
Remains average
Lacks the dual camera sensors of its bigger brother
So you can't take shots in Portrait Mode
There's no way of expanding the storage with a MicroSD card slot for example
If you've bought the smaller 64GB handset and used all of that space
Pocketable flagship phones are few and far between, but both the Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 are great choices even if it's hard to get excited about their designs.They both tick a lot of boxes, including waterproofing and great cameras, and both lack a headphon...
A11 CPU is MASSIVELY Powerful, Like What Apple's Done With iOS 11, Decent Camera
Too Expensive, Boring Design, Squiffy Performance, Average Battery Life
Would I buy this phone? Absolutely not. I can think of multiple phones I'd rather own and use than the iPhone 8. The camera is great, as is the A11 chipset, but that's not enough to warrant a price hike on a phone that is more or less indistinguishable fr...
The iPhone 8 is the classic iterative update that Apple has been doing for many years. Everything is a little bit better than on the previous model, without any dramatic new innovations. Those, of course, were all saved for the iPhone X.If you want more o...
Abstract: THE IPHONE 8 has now landed and, unlike many had expected, arrives as an incremental update to last year's iPhone 7. It does have some new bits and bobs, though, including a new processor, upgraded camera and a longer lasting battery, according to Apple...
Great camera, Decent battery life, Ergonomic design
Large bezels look dated, Fast charging costs extra, Difficult to get excited about
The iPhone 8 is an excellent smartphone. The battery life is decent, the camera improved, and the addition of wireless charging adds convenience.We like the glass-backed design as well, and, thanks to the small screen it's one of the most ergonomic phones...

This is a tough comparison for Apple.The S8 has a much bigger screen (5.8 in to 4.7in) in a body that's only a little bulkier (10mm longer, 1mm wider, 7g heavier) because it has far thinner bezels; that screen also includes a built-in Home button and a ma...

“The iPhone 8 takes everything good about the iPhone 7 and builds on it, just not by as much as we'd have liked. It's a great compact phone, but expensive for what you get.”Best Apple iPhone 8 dealsTop DealApple iPhone 8 12GB for the price of 4GB.12GB dat...
There are some great things about the iPhone 8 including the addition of wireless charging, 64GB storage as standard and a fast A11 Bionic processor. However, this all comes at a higher price and everything else is largely the same so we can't imagine or...

Limited upgrade over iPhone 7, Bezel-heavy design looks dated, Battery only just lasts a day
Don't let the iPhone 8 name fool you – this is very much the iPhone 7S, an incremental upgrade on 2016's 4.7-inch iPhone 7 with a few additions here and there, but nothing to really wow...

2014 design, boring, large bezels around the screen, no headphone jack, no fastcharger in the box, expensive
The iPhone 8 is the best iPhone released to date because it has much better battery life, an improved camera and wireless charging – but it's inherently boring. It has glass on the back, sure, but even without sticking it in a case it's difficult to tell...
